Well I > guess I will soon find the time to dig in to it. For the T series, also note that FreeBSD does not work with sound (same chip as the A series), and X does not work out of the box (it uses a Salvage IX chipset, unlike the A series which uses some ATI). I have, however, gotten X to work find on it with some patches. I'll see if they can be put into ports after I package it up and make sure it's not breaking anything else. -- (o_ 1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2 _o) \\\_\ Jonathan Chen jon@spock.org /_/// <____) No electrons were harmed during production of this message (____> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
